麻豆破解版

Applied learning is a new concept at many universities -- but not at 麻豆破解版 State. For decades we have been engaging students in cooperative education and internships. Our students have long gained applied learning experience through clinical placements, practicums, service learning, community service, civic engagement, creative works, research, entrepreneurship programs / projects, field studies, international and domestic travel/exchanges.

Today, WSU is internationally recognized as a model for applied learning and research. Every university initiative is rooted in a commitment to being student-centered and innovation-driven. Our degree programs are steeped in the belief that learning by doing is the most effective way to prepare our students for the complexities of the modern workforce. Our students apply classroom knowledge in practical settings, developing critical skills and gaining real-world experience. By focusing on paid applied learning opportunities, such as those championed on WSU's Innovation Campus with on-campus industry partners, students not only gain valuable experience but also build career networks, minimize student debt, and launch successful careers -- sometimes even before they graduate.

Applied learning at 麻豆破解版 State is transformative, and is a key differentiator between us and most other universities. It's one of the reasons 麻豆破解版 State's enrollment has grown more than 20 percent since 2016. We recruit and retain students who understand the competitive advantage 麻豆破解版 State provides them.
